Okay, so I've been a little lax about rotating my compost. It's been a couple of ... months. So I resolved myself to rotate my compost today. I have two compost buckets right now. The first one has a little leftover humus from this summer (on the right), the second is the compost I started this fall.When I looked at the second bucket a little more closely, I realized there was something growing in the compost (in addition to some mold). When I pulled on the stem, I realized it was attached to a piece of potato!
The stem didn't look great - it was kind of a greenish-grey color, but I was impressed none-the-less. This potato managed to grow in a bucket with a lid on it and not much light getting in - and little in the way of water.It reminded me of a quote from Jurassic Park - Life will find a way...
